Share your Librarian Experience about Patrons' Health Information Needs

Dear Library Professional,

Improved health literacy is a Healthy People 2030 goal. Personal health literacy is individuals' ability to find, understand, and use health information to make informed health-related decisions and actions (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). Public librarians create environments that support health literacy and help patrons with health-information seeking behaviors like searching/seeking information, browsing, finding, and using information to fulfill a specific need.

A team of librarians from the State Library of Ohio, a consumer health librarian from The Ohio State University Hospital Health Sciences Library for Health Information, and nurse scientists from the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare, are interested in exploring your perceived consumer health information needs. Your participation is voluntary, and there are no incentives for participation. If you decide to participate, you will complete a web-based survey. We estimate the survey completion time to be 20 minutes.

Purpose of the research study

The purpose of this research study is to explore consumer health information needs by conducting an exploratory needs assessment survey in a convenience sample of Ohio public librarians.

Confidentiality
There is a strict data protection plan in place. Your survey responses will be de-identified.
